Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Too late for the November 2015 elections, sorry. They would both qualify, so contact your county board of elections and ask for an absentee ballot for them and for yourself if you are a full time caregiver and cannot get to the polls. That way they will get ballots for future primaries and general elections.
Pam is right, it is too late now. What comes up next are the primaries for party elections for President which won't be until sometime next year. You can get the ballot, your Dad can fill out his. As for your Mom, if you know 100% for sure who she would vote for you can fill that box... and have her sign the ballot, and you as the witness.
If Mom is unable to communicate or doesn't understand who is running for the primary, just go through the motions to make Dad happy.... then tell Dad you will drop off the ballots at the post office [except for Mom's].
In our area, we get the absentee ballots from our local community - city, township, etc. Contact the clerk's office and ask how to get your parents on the list. You'll be asked some questions, i.e., age, mobility....for you the issue would be that your parent(s) is/are unable to get to the polls, or are over 65, or perhaps other issues.
It's not anything you have to qualify for other than meeting the age and mobility requirements.
Generally, at least in my area of Michigan, the request for the ballot is sent out at least a month before the election, with checkoffs to be selected as to the specific reason why an absentee ballot is necessary. Complete and return those forms (for each of your parents), then the absentee ballot is sent with the list of all the candidates and proposals.
You can complete for your mother if you also certify on the ballet that you're doing so on her behalf. I help my father, and acknowledge that by also signing in the section provided. That's legal and acceptable.
Your father is a good man to want your mother to still vote; it's comforting to know that he feels that responsibility, AND that right.
In our last local city election, less than 40% of the voters voted, and it was an important one locally for us. That level of participation is really pathetic.
Oh please, does anyone really think a bed bound woman with late stage alzheimers is qualified to vote? It may be her right, but it is your responsibility to ensure she has the capacity to mark her ballot independently and without coaching from the sidelines. If she is capable of that then go for it, but if not then in reality you or your dad are casting two ballots.
Yes, we had to think long and hard about this one, too. I agree with CW that if you are going to go ahead and get your mother a ballot paper, then you must stay hands-off - if your mother isn't able to understand the process, understand who she's voting for and handle the thing herself, then doing it for her is totally out of order. And, actually, probably illegal?
I would choose my battles on this one. Request the ballot, if mom understands even party differences and express her desire, then fill it out for her. Since this is causing issues for dad, do it, if mom not capable of making the decisions do not return the ballot.
